    1986-87 Stock Cam Specifications

    Yes, There is nothing wrong with a stock cam for a stock engine. I ran a 10.83@125 with a stock cam/stock engine. Other racers have gone even faster with the stock cam.

    Turbo Crank?

    You have a turbo crank. The cranks were essentially the same (turbo crank) from 83-89 Only the turbo engines got rolled fillets on both the rods and mains. The NA 3.8 engines got a crank without the rolled fillets. Most 4.1 engines got the rolled fillet cranks too.

    I'm rebuilding my engine......

    Recommendations: Replace or abandon (do not use) the oil cooler in the radiator (metal from this failure will undoubtly be in there) Your stock cam can be reground and reused (Delta Cam has reground and parkerized many stock cams for me.

    Champion Irons - Viton or teflon valve stem seals?

    What were you running for clearance? (Valve stem to guide that is) Being too tight can cause galling and guide wear. Both Viton and Teflon seals will dry up your guides which makes guide wear issues even worse. Getting good clearance allows a bit more oil down the guide for lubrication...
